Yes, that’s right. Justice League. Just one day after the ruling The LA Times is reporting that
filming will begin next year and the DC Comics super team will hit the
big screen in the summer of 2015. Apparently they have a script,
written by Will Beall, ready to roll and are just looking to attach a
director and cast the lead roles.One word of caution, the source that the LA Times cites is described as ‘a knowledgeable person not authorized to discuss the matter publicly‘ -
so if you had ‘Summer 2015′ in your Justice League release date office
betting pool hold off on collecting your money till we get the official
word.

Batman versus the Predator? It happened. Raiders of the Lost Ark remade by kids? It happened. For years, people have been making home movies, many times using pop culture properties that they may not own, but love. In recent years, these types of projects have come to be known as "fanfilms". Backyard Blockbusters looks at the history and influence of the fanfilm genre, as well as the copyright and fair use problems these films create, featuring highlights from and interviews with the creators of many popular films.

The Joker was taking it back to the beginning. Acme Chemicals. The catwalk. The Red Hood.
The stage was set for the first of what promised to be a cataclysmic series of battles between the Dark Knight and his arch-foe in BATMAN #13, writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo’s cinematic kick-off to the line-wide “Death of the Family” Batman crossover.

When Michael Uslan was a boy, he watched the stuff that dreams are made of literally go up in smoke.

A friend’s father, who shared the dim view of comic books most
grown-ups held in the 1950s and ’60s, burned his son’s collection in his
fireplace as young Michael watched in horror. Uslan estimates that the
comics he saw consumed in flames that day, which included Spider-Man’s
first appearance, would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars today.
“There were comic book burnings in various towns,” Uslan told
TODAY.com. “In postwar America, comics were blamed for juvenile
delinquency and, my favorite, asthma, because comic book readers stayed
indoors to read instead of playing outside in the fresh air.”

Superman co-creator Joe Shuster had a secret identity as a fetish artist.
Shuster and his Superman partner Jerry Seigel saw none of the riches
Superman was making for DC Comics, or National as it was known during
the 30s and 40s. In fact both were sacked after they tried to get a
share of the money. To pay the bills, Shuster took a job illustrating a
pulp magazine called Night of Horrors, which featured sado-masochistic
scenes of women whipping men and men liking it.

Warner Brothers have revealed the Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray and DVD
covers and interiors for its home release due out just before Christmas
on December 4th.
I think a lot of Bat fans will be getting a few copies of the Dark Knight Rises for Christmas.
